Sunday afternoon, 27 October, was the PEARS HF DX Contest, the exchange was a signal report and your CQ
       Zone, the same as the still ongoing CQ Widewide Contest, Nico and Stephen met at the clubhouse to try work
       some DX,. Sadly, today the 15 meter band was mostly dead, after Nico had left, Stephen only managed to work
